This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.
The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
We now rewrite the binary image at runtime on Windows and XNU to change
mov %fs:0,%reg instructions to use %gs instead. There's also simpler
threading API introduced by this change and it's called _spawn() and
_join(), which has replaced most clone() usage.
This change turns symbol table compression back on using Puff, which
noticeably reduces the size of programs like redbean and Python. The
redbean web server receives some minor API additions for controlling
things like SSL in addition to filling gaps in the documentation.
- Add FreeBSD-specific mmap() flags
- Reduce size of the APE loader from 8kb to 4kb
- Work towards fixing the Makefile build on WSL
- Automate testing of APE no-modify-self behaviors
- Make the ape.S shell script code cleaner and tinier
- Improve the APE sanity check to test behavior better
- Fixed issue with ShowCrashReports() sigaltstack() on BSDs
- Delete symbols for S_MODE magnums which wasted compile time
If you checked out yesterday's APE commit, please run:
rm -f /usr/bin/ape o/tmp/ape /tmp/ape "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ape"
Because this change fixes certain aspects of the new ABI. We don't have
automated migrations for APE loader versions yet. Thanks! You can also
download prebuilt binaries here:
- https://justine.lol/ape.elf (Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD)
- https://justine.lol/ape.macho (Apple)
Install the appropriate one as `/usr/bin/ape`.
The greenbean web server now works nearly perfectly on Windows with over
1000 threads. But some synchronization issues still remain which prevent
us from going over nine thousand.
- Document more compiler flags
- Expose new __print_maps() api
- Better overflow checking in mmap()
- Improve the shell example somewhat
- Fix minor runtime bugs regarding stacks
- Make kill() on fork()+execve()'d children work
- Support CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for proper joining
- Fix recent possible deadlock regression with --ftrace
- Get clone() working on FreeBSD
- Increase some Python build quotas
- Add more atomic builtins to chibicc
- Fix ASAN poisoning of alloca() memory
- Make MODE= mandatory link path tinier
- Improve the examples folder a little bit
- Start working on some more resource limits
- Make the linenoise auto-complete UI as good as GNU readline
- Update compile.com, avoiding AVX codegen on non-AVX systems
- Make sure empty path to syscalls like opendir raises ENOENT
- Correctly polyfill ENOENT vs. ENOTDIR on the New Technology
- Port bestline's paredit features to //third_party/linenoise
- Remove workarounds for RHEL 5.0 bugs that were fixed in 5.1
It's now possible to pass the `-S` or `-SS` flags to sandbox redbean
worker proecsses after they've been forked. The first `-S` flag is
intended to be a permissive builtin policy that limits system calls to
only that which the various parts of redbean serving need. The second
`-SS` flag is intended to be more restrictive, preventing things like
the Lua extensions you download off the web from using the HTTP client
or sockets APIs. In upcoming changes you'll be able to implement your
own Berkeley Packet Filter sandbox programs and load them via Lua.
- Fix a regression with the previous change that broke redbean
- Add chroot(), resource limit, seccomp, and other stuff to redbean
- Write lots and lots of documentation
- Iron out more system call issues
This change makes further effort towards improving our poll()
implementation on the New Technology. The stdin worker didn't work out
so well for Python so it's not being used for now. System call tracing
with the --strace flag should now be less noisy now on Windows unless
you modify the strace.internal.h defines to turn on some optional ones
that are most useful for debugging the system call wrappers.
- Fix bugs in kDos2Errno definition
- malloc() should now be thread safe
- Fix bug in rollup.com header generator
- Fix open(O_APPEND) on the New Technology
- Fix select() on the New Technology and test it
- Work towards refactoring i/o for thread safety
- Socket reads and writes on NT now poll for signals
- Work towards i/o completion ports on the New Technology
- Make read() and write() intermittently check for signals
- Blinkenlights keyboard i/o so much better on NT w/ poll()
- You can now poll() files and sockets at the same time on NT
- Fix bug in appendr() that manifests with dlmalloc footers off
- Improve i/o perf on New Technology
- Code cleanup on read() for New Technology
- Fix bad bug with dup() of socket on New Technology
- Clean up some more strace errors on New Technology
This change fixes minor bugs and adds a feature, which lets us store the
ELF symbol table, inside the ZIP directory. We use the path /zip/.symtab
which can be safely removed using a zip editing tool, to make the binary
smaller after compilation. This supplements the existing method of using
a separate .com.dbg file, which is still supported. The intent is people
don't always know that it's a good idea to download the debug file. It's
not great having someone's first experience be a crash report, that only
has numbers rather than symbols. This will help fix that!
